Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 420 A Fake Act Becomes Real?

Ten seconds, eleven, twelve... Duke Negan counted the numbers silently. A third of the time had passed, and he seemed to hear the sound of a storm rising above the Cathedral of the Holy Wind.

The archbishop was rapidly approaching.

"Witch..." Duke Negan looked at the witch being attacked by three Sequence 5 bodyguards and suddenly had some other thoughts.

Capturing her alive under these circumstances doesn't seem impossible, but the witch is just too dangerous...

Duke Negan simply stayed put and waited, without going far. He also had two other bodyguards with him, but leaving might lead to other traps, so it was better to wait here for the "Singer of God".

click!

In a corner of the battlefield, a faint sound arose; it came from a group of frozen noblewomen.

Duke Negan had just been assassinated, and they were all unlucky enough to be frozen in place, with no one paying any attention to them.

call out!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and suddenly an ice spike rose from the group of frozen noblewomen radiating a chilling aura, hurtling towards Duke Negan.

Because the noblewomen were already frozen and exuding a chilling aura, the process of the icicle forming was concealed, and no one even noticed it before it pierced through the air.

Among those frozen noblewomen was a witch!

"Quickly..." The bodyguard's words came to an abrupt halt as fine but resilient spider silk appeared in the space, binding Duke Negan and his two bodyguards.

"Duke, what are you thinking about?" Her tone was soft and charming, full of allure.

A witch burst forth from the ice sculpture. She glanced at Duke Negan, and the witch's disease and allure simultaneously descended upon him, shattering his will to fight.

The two were no more than fifty meters apart, while Duke Negan had been standing still for more than thirty seconds.

The disease undoubtedly infected him. At the same time, the duke, whose health was not very good to begin with, was affected by pleasure. His blood rushed to his head, his desires surged, the disease worsened, and his mind was filled with lewd thoughts. He lost the ability to resist.

This is the same as the witch we assassinated at the beginning; she's Sequence 5!

In order to kill Duke Negan, the Witch Cult deployed a demigod and two Sequence 5s.

Click!

Although the two bodyguards were restrained, they still made corresponding attempts to stop them. However, the witch did not engage with them. Instead, she left behind a broken wand and a shattered mirror and used a substitute to escape them.

"Die!" The icy spear in the witch's hand pierced through Duke Negan's chest without a drop of blood splattering out; his body was completely frozen.

The greatest landed noble in the Kingdom of Rune, the leader of the conservative faction, finally died.

"Go!" Starlight shone from the witch's body, and her figure flashed behind another witch, reaching out to bring her companion directly into the spirit world.

"You should go too. The 'Singer of God' is almost here," Klein said, shifting his gaze from the dead Duke Negan to the gathering clouds in the sky.

It has been only twenty seconds since Duke Negan blew the strange conch shell.

"No rush." ​​Triss glanced at Klein, then delivered the decisive blow!

At this moment, the entire mirror world was filled with countless black hairs and invisible transparent threads rising up, forming an exaggerated spider web that enveloped Klein.

laugh!

Thick, long hair and ethereal, fine lines simultaneously erupted into deep, quiet black flames, fueled by spirituality, threatening to incinerate Klein completely.

"Use it!" Klein leaped into the air and used the rules to stay suspended, avoiding falling into the spider web and flames.

"Distortion," "Magnification"! Klein distorted the existence of the mirror space, amplifying the imbalance between him and the real world.

This caused the mirror world to appear on the scene, and everyone could see the deputy director of MI9 suspended in mid-air, fighting against this terrifying witch demigod.

boom!

A terrifying clap of thunder came from the ominous dark clouds in the sky, and the blazing white lightning struck Triss before the sound even arrived.

Klein's vision blurred, and he subconsciously looked up to see the "Singer of God" standing under the dark clouds, his face extremely pale.

The archbishop, who had a fairly good relationship with John Constantine, had a face as gloomy as the clouds in the sky, and his blue hair danced in the wind, sparkling like lightning.

He felt the death of Duke Negan, and anger burned through his reason.

"You're too late." Triss's body shattered instantly from the lightning strike, and she reappeared in another direction.

She raised her head proudly, as if looking down at the Archbishop of the Church of Storms, "Remember, this was done by my Witch Cult."

Klein pressed his pocket watch, "Teleportation is prohibited here!"

A certain power spread out, and Triss's flickering figure instantly froze.

The scene suddenly looked much better, with both the witch and the archbishop looking at Klein.

The "Singer of God" nodded slightly to Klein, expressing his gratitude for his timely assistance.

The witch's expression was somewhat strange as she stared at Klein, a fierce glint in her eyes. She was already suspecting that this was a trap to kill her.

Of course, strictly speaking, Klein's current actions are not problematic at all. After all, the two sides are enemies on the surface, and at this time, keeping the enemy alive at all costs is what he should do.

"Let's see where you run to!" The "Singer of God" landed on the scene, his eyes filled with storm and tsunami.

"Ha!" Triss glanced at Klein and "Singer of God" with disdain, showing no concern whatsoever for their current predicament.

"Please don't hold back." Triss also had a bit of a talent for provocation.

The "Singer of God" suddenly attacked, unleashing a storm and thunder that seemed poised to destroy the entire Queen Backlund district.

Klein also used "Amplify" and "Distort" at the right time to enhance the lightning and hinder Triss's movements.

He acted so well, it was as if he really wanted to keep Triss here forever.

Of course, it wasn't all acting...

For a fleeting moment, Klein genuinely considered joining forces with the "Singer of God" to trap Triss here.

After all, opportunities like this are extremely rare.

With the Storm Demigod's strength in attack, plus his support, killing a "Despair Witch" is very simple.

But this isn't just a "Despair Witch"!

Klein watched as Triss raised her hand, which was adorned with a sapphire ring, and his spirit began to scream.

His "twisting" was completely useless; he couldn't "twist" the movement at all.

"O primordial witch, you are the end of the world, you are chaos..."

Ancient, difficult-to-understand giant chants entered Klein's mind, as if a scene of an ancient tribal group worshipping the "Primal Witch" had appeared.

The sapphire ring glowed faintly amidst the chanting, its dim light illuminating the faces of Klein and the "Singer of God."
